He was a big lunk of a dude that I hired early in my days as a radio station programmer. Though he could have a fiery temper, he was usually just a gentle giant. A country boy through and through, he didn’t pass through life, he bulldozed through it.

I’m not sure how the moniker “Moose” became attached to him. It seems to me that I recall mentioning in jest (what other way could you mention such a thing to a guy who could pound you into the ground like a tent spike?) that he reminded me of Moose from the Archie comics. One thing lead to another, and for years after we all lovingly refered to him by the elkian emblem.
